Halifax residents have been crowned one of the top fundraising towns in the county after raising £518 for animal charity Support Adoption For Pets.

The #MakesMeSmile fundraising campaign, organised by Support Adoption For Pets, and supported by Pets at Home, raised £479,483 nationally by asking pet owners to share pictures of their smiling pets whilst donating £1 to the charity.

Amy Wilson, charity manager said: “Thanks to the Halifax Pets at Home store and generosity of local residents we were able to raise an amazing amount that will now help animal organisations in the community.

“We want to thank you everyone that got involved in the #MakesMeSmile Halifax activity.”

Support Adoption For Pets has supported over nine hundred animal charities across the UK and Northern Ireland since it was established in 2006. In the last year alone, Support Adoption For Pets has raised more than £2.1 million
